Food and Flow
Let's talk food today! In my years of helping people change their eating habits, I have learned so much about human behavior. Nothing really comes close to it. Running and Olympic lifting are fantastic, don't get me wrong, but changing the way we eat is another beast. One of the most exciting things I have learned is that switching the attention to why and how to eat often solves the problem of what to eat. This is a very counter-culture concept, I know. We are always worried about meal-plans, macro-nutrients, keto, paleo, no diary, supplements, and whatnot. However, we never stop to consider our eating habits from a more significant and more meaningful perspective. I get it. Our lives are busy, thinking is hard --I am not being sarcastic, and having a critical approach to our behavioral habits, it is exhausting.

Be the horse
If you had worked with me on nutrition or fitness, you most likely have heard me comparing you to a horse or a dog. Some people don't like it. Some look at me with a wtf face. It is simple though. I ask my athlete: "if you wanted to make this hypothetical horse into the fittest horse you could, how would that look? How does that compare to what you are doing to yourself?" It is one of my secret weapons.

F.N.A.Q.: Losing Weight, Making Gainz?
You probably know it by now. I have things to say. Thanks to the questions and lessons I learned from you, I always have a big list of blog ideas, video ideas, Instagram ideas, and even book ideas. Sometimes in those lists, patterns emerge. I see common beliefs and cultural practices that end-up messing up my athletes. They usually take the form of "evident truths" that don't need to be questioned. What I have found out is that the opposite is correct. They need to be challenged. Moreover, they need to be aggressively examined. Because of that, I have created the series: "Frequently not asked questions". Today's video is the first of this series and it has to do with losing weight and athletic performance. Watch it and let me know what you think.
Awareness is control
